1a)

Transition Step / Foot Lift

Coordination

•

Improper hand / foot maneuver timing

-

Hand drops should be timed to conclude simultaneously with the raise of the foot

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper positioning

-

Arms should be dropped to the sides, slightly behind the body, and slightly bent at elbows

•

Lean of stance (sideways / forward)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground throughout maneuver

•

Improper maneuver height

-

Raise of foot should conclude at relative knee level

Gaze

•

Improper angle

-

Attention should be directed (behind) over shoulder

1b)

Stomp

Coordination

•

Improper arm / foot maneuver timing

-

Stomp should be executed as an isolated maneuver (but flow seamlessly with the next maneuver) (and not as a hopping movement)

Execution - Execution Angle

•

Improper foot repositioning

-

Stomp should conclude in the same relative location from which it was originally raised

•

Improper execution direction

-

Stomp should be executed vertically (not on a diagonal path)

Execution - Alignment

•

Lean of stance (sideways / forward)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground throughout maneuver

•

Improper weight distribution

-

Stomp should conclude with 95%+ of weight on striking foot

•

Improper body rotation

-

Body should remain in relatively the same rotation (not merged with following body maneuver)

2)

Elbow (Obscure, Upward) / Heel kick

Coordination

•

Improper arm / foot maneuver timing

-

Correct strike timing:

·Both Strikes should begin at conclusion of previous maneuver

·Strikes should be executed to make potential contact at same time

Execution - Execution Angle

•

Improper strike dimensions

-

Correct strike dimensions:

·Strikes should be executed on a vertical plane (not diagonally)

·Strikes should be executed such that both are extended to a similar relative distance behind the body

·Strikes should be directly in-line on a vertical plane

·Elbow should conclude at relative face height

·Kick should conclude at relative groin height

Execution - Alignment

•

Lean of stance (sideways / forward)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground throughout maneuver

•

Improper body rotation

-

Body should remain in relatively the same rotation (not merged with following body maneuver)

•

Improper stance adjustment

-

Stance height should remain relatively constant (with only slight adjustment for Body English)

Execution - Path

•

Improper maneuver path

-

Both strikes should be executed on linear paths (not circular)

3)

Elbow (Inner)

Coordination

•

Improper arm / foot maneuver timing

-

Strike should be executed to conclude simultaneously with the settle into the horse stance (taking advantage of body rotation)

Execution - Execution Angle

•

Improper foot maneuver angle

-

Both steps should conclude on the major line (9:00H-3:00H)

•

Improper strike angle

-

Inner-elbow strike should conclude on an upward, diagonal line (1:30V-7:30V) and not a horizontal line (9:00V-3:00V)

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper arm position

-

None striking arm should conclude at relative waist height (chambered position)

4)

Transition

Execution - Alignment

•

Lean of stance (sideways)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground throughout maneuver
